My name is Clare.  You know me as Clare9 in the chat room.  Original nic name eh??  I was on vacation last week so I hadn't had a chance to write until now.  I am a 30 year old female adoptee recently reunited.  I searched for about 2+ years.  Just in the last year really seriously.  I had been curious about my bmom since I knew what adoption meant.   I found my bmom on August 5, 1999.  I wrote her a letter and she responded with a 13 page letter with 6 pictures included!  We met in person on September 5, 1999. She is a beautiful and strong woman.  I am so glad and relieved to know her. My many numerous questions have and will be answered.  She is very open and tells me to ask anything I want.  My search was a little tricky since I was born in Illinois and adopted In Cincinnati, Ohio.  I was able to obtain copies of my adoption decree and petition for adoption simply by writing to the probate court in Cincinnati.  They had my birth name blacked out, but when you angle it to the light it shows through!  Once I had her maiden name it wasn't very hard to find her!  My parents are and have always been very open to me searching.  As a matter of fact my parents and my bmom are meeting next month!  My parents want to thank her in person!  I am truly very blessed.  Believe me when I say I don't take that for granted! Keep searching..........it's worth it!  If I can help anyone let me know!
